I use the FABRIC cageless tool keg, never had an issue of it falling off, but it is on the road bike and never gets unclipped, so might be a reason, no wear at all on the fittings.

GrahamS2 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Thank you. I just liked the minimalist idea of no cage. In that case, I'll look at Laguna's carbon bottle cage. They're only 17grams. I don't consider myself a weight weanie, but I just like a cage that's as small, simple as possible. The Laguna's are very pricy though.A Specialized Rib cage is cheap and only weighs 33grams. Problem solved

Problem solvedToken only weighs 28g and is just as cheap https://tokencycling.co.za/shop/token-plastic-bottle-cage-black/ But if you have cash to burn, then the Zenith at 20g https://www.tokenproducts.com/comps/cage/zenith-bottle-cage, https://tokencycling.co.za/shop/token-zenith-bottle-cage-carbon/
